Erica Nelson

Astrophysicist

After completing my PhD at Yale University, I am now a Hubble Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics working on the formation and evolution of galaxies. I use some of the most powerful telescopes on earth and above it to directly image emerging galactic structure in the distant past. I am excited about the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope and about working to make astrophysics inclusive.
